With Friday's report, the US economy has now added more than
200,000 jobs in 10 consecutive months, the longest streak since
1995. Overall, the labor market is having its best year since
2000.

And the big winners are everyone's favorite generation to rag on:
millennials.

In the last year, the unemployment rate for workers between the
ages of 25 and 34 has fallen sharply, from 7.4% to 6.1%. The
number of unemployed people in this age group has fallen from
2.51 million one year ago to 2.08 million in November 2014.

And while some might quibble over
who exactly is a millennial — is it people
under 30, 35, or 25? — there is no doubt that the current
generation of "young professionals," almost no matter how you
choose to define that category, is far larger than Generation
X.

The US economy is still working to repair itself even six years
after the height of the financial crisis, and there are a number
of economic data points that bulls can point to indicating the
strength of the US economy.

But the future of the economy is young workers, and so it is
perhaps as encouraging as anything to see job gains accelerate
among the youngest cohort.
